Logs
The WheatNet‑IP Scheduler program automatically keeps logs to indicate various
types of activity. The files are named
EventLog_weekX.log
, where the
X
can be a
number from 1 to 4. Upon program exit, log data from the current session is appended to
the end of the currently active log file. Older logs are overwritten, so you need to look at
the Date/Time stamp of the log files to determine which one is most current. Log files live
in the same default location as the signal and event files previously discussed, typically
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\
Wheatstone\
in Windows XP or
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\ Roaming\
Wheatstone\
in Windows 7.
Should you need to contact Wheatstone Technical Support regarding an issue with the
software you may be asked to provide the logs.
Viewing Logs
The current log may be viewed by selecting
View Log from either the
Events
or the
Schedule
menu item, or by clicking the
View Log
button on the main window. A typical
log when viewed shortly after the program starts might look like this:
Also added to the log file are indications of events that have fired, requests for fetching
signals, opening and saving event and signal files, and other useful information.
If any events have fired, they will be listed in the log. Any such listing contains the
text “EVENT”. This keyword is used when clicking the Previous Event
and
Next Event
buttons to find all such listings in the log.
Since the log files are plain text files, they can also be viewed in any simple text editor.
